Section 263 revision - derivative transactions losses - inadequate inquiry by Assessing Officer (AO). Commissioner of Income Tax (CIT) set aside AO's order for re-examination instead of giving conclusive finding on sustainability under law. Distinction between lack of inquiry and inadequate inquiry - if any inquiry conducted, even inadequate, CIT cannot revise merely due to different opinion. Only lack of inquiry permits revision u/s 263. AO conducted inquiry, was satisfied with evidence provided, not required to give elaborate finding.

When AO's order not erroneous for want of inquiry, CIT must give conclusive finding on order's sustainability under law. Assessee's appeal allowed.
